Twilight could only stand in amazement to what she had just witnessed. The Princess of Love and Hope and just appeared in her loft, began to say something that might have been important, then went… Pinkie Pie on her! Surely this day could not get any worse.
That was when a thump sounded from the window. Twilight turned, perhaps it was just a fly or something that bumped into it… hard.
Then she saw something come flying at the closed window and the thump sounded again.
She opened the window and looked out at a pony in a black cloak standing in the middle of the street, picking up what looked like a scroll, which was promptly thrown and smacked into Twilight’s face, knocking her back into the room with the scroll on her chest.
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
Anonymous is not pleased with your offering. The cupcake had nuts in it, like we specifically asked not to be present in the final product. We cannot forgive such ignorance of fellow ponies allergies.
As such, we will be considering you an enemy of Anonymous. This letter is to inform you that we will be taking matters into our own hooves.
Sincerely,
Anonymous.
Twilight stared at the letter, then got up and looked out her window again, but the pony in the cloak had vanished.
“What in the hay is this supposed to mean?” Twilight asked herself. She compared the writing to that of the other two letters, which were on the main table of the library. It was a different penmanship, and the second letter of hooves almost looked like an a.
Twilight wasn’t sure what to make of this letter, or what ‘taking matters into our own hooves’ was intending, but she did know that Anonymous was not something she wanted to toy with. With their threats already against the throne, it was certain they were up to no good.
And speaking of up to no good, she was reminded of the badge she had obtained from Applebloom. The Equestrian Bureau of Investigation… she needed to write her letter to Shinning Armor about that. But first, she would update Princess Celestia about Anonymous.
Case 5:
I have received another letter from Anonymous. I believe they take me to be their enemy. I feel that you really must do something to prevent them from creating anarchy. They made me their enemy simply because I had nuts in the cupcake I left out for them—it was the only one I had, and I didn’t even know it had nuts in it at all! If they are going to take such a simple mistake as an act of hate, then I seriously hope you take them just as seriously.
Sincerely,
Princess Twilight Sparkle
Twilight watched as the scroll disappeared as smoke into the sky. Now she needed to write her brother.
Dearest Brother,
I recently was visited by the Cutie Mark Crusaders bearing a badge from the ‘Equestrian Bureau of Investigation.’ I was wondering, does it even exist? I have done extensive research but have seen nothing on the topic. Since you’re the captain of the Royal Guard, surely you would know if they actually exist.
Your LSBFF,
Princess Twilight Sparkle
Shining Armor was standing next to Cadence, both before Luna and Discord.
“Well, Shining Armor, tell her about the Equestrian Bureau of Investigation,” Discord said.
“You mean the fake law enforcement agency you created for your little pranks? I’m not going along with this. And there’s nothing you can do to change that, Discord.”
“Your ‘Little Sister Best Friend Forever’ is counting on you.”
“We’re not playing your little game, Discord.”
“Perhaps we do a little convincing, Luna,” Discord said with a chuckle. Shining armor responded by creating a barrier around him and his wife. “Fine then, but if I catch you interfering with our tradition, then I will be forced to take matters into my own claws.”
In a flash, Cadence and Shining Armor disappeared from the Castle, and Discord knew exactly where they were going, and what they were going to do.
